The word "diet" is a defeatist trigger for me. When I went to a different Way Of Eating (WOE), I had more success.

Try adjusting portion size (even use a smaller plate). A portion controlled food plan of protein and vegetables with good fats and a few carbs will work. You just have to keep playing with it to see how your diabetic numbers are and how to keep your nutrition in balance. Foods like dairy, nuts, seeds and eggs are all great for snacks as you adjust to the changes.

Hi
There are many diet options that work, but to choose one, you should try different options. To start Focus on five product groups. When you have diabetes, it is important to make sure that you get enough of the right kinds of foods in your diet. Although there is no ideal food that can provide all the nutrients of your body. Focus on eating a lot:

Day 3Breakfast: 1 slice of cheddar cheese5 saltine crackers, and an appleLunch: 1 slice of toast, one egg (hard boiled or cooked according to your likes)Dinner: A cup of tuna, 1/2 banana, 1 cup of vanilla ice cream. No snacks are allowed between meals, black coffee and green tea without sugar are allowed.

All that bread (and the crackers, and ice cream) would send my BG to the moon...

I started out by cutting out potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, and most grains (other than those bird seed-like crackers once in a while), and I am careful to limit fruit, since it has lots of sugar.

And then I followed a LCHF diet. I found that the low carb high fat (LCHF) diet that I used to get my BG under control, made me almost effortlessly lose a ton of weight. I aim for 30 - 45 grams of carbs per day, and I don't count calories. Keeps me full, and the low carbs help control appetite (I never feel very hungry). And I'm eating foods that I like.

Plus I added in 30 min to an hour of exercise (usually just walking) per day.

The best advice I can give is to eat to your meter. Get a BG meter. Test before eating, and 1 hour and 2 hours after first bite. Exclude from your diet anything that spikes you > than 140 in one hour, and anything that keeps your BG significantly higher than your pre-meal level after 2 hours.
